Toilet with a Tube Bottom Seal

ABSTRACT

A toilet that has a tube seal at the bottom between the toilet and the sewer pipe instead of a wax or rubber ring and this tube connects to a downspout on a new type of toilet and a sewer pipe that extends a short distance above the floor instead of a closet flange. The toilet has an opening in the back of the base so that when the toilet is dropped down on the floor, it also drops down over the jointing tube inserting the jointing tube into the toilet downspout and over the raised sewer pipe and the installer can gain access to the compression bands on the jointing tube, at least one for the toilet and one for the sewer pipe, to tighten them creating a flexible permanent seal between the toilet and sewer pipe, eliminating the wax ring.

Bathroom toilets are a plumbing fixture that uses water to remove refuse from inside the home to the sewer and are a necessary item in every home and is a fixture that is used multiple times a day. Because it is a fluid fixture, there are incorporated into it several fluid seals that store, contain and direct the fluids in a proper and sanitary manner.

Since the toilet usually rest on the floor, it must have a seal between the toilet and the sewer pipe. This seal is usually located at the bottom of the toilet. The seal is sandwiched between the bottom of the toilet and the top of the sewer pipe. It terminates at what is known as a closet flange which is placed on the top of the sewer pipe as it passes through and terminates at the top of the floor. There the closet flange is affixed to the sewer pipe. The closet flange is usually attached to the floor and it has a flange that extends out in all directions from the sewer pipe. It encompasses the entire radius of the sewer pipe providing several necessary entities, such as, but not limited to, a supporting flange, that holds the sewer pipe up, so that it doesn't drop down too low below the floor and become disconnected from the bottom of the toilet. It is the holding base which attaches the toilet to the sewer pipe, as well as, a platform for the bottom seal.

Incorporated into the closet flange are slots or oblong openings into which the installer places upward facing bolts and these pass through corresponding holes in the bottom of the toilet. Usually, one on each side, where as, an “over sized” wax or rubber ring is placed between the two respective parts. Wax is a some what sticky substance it adheres its self to each respective part in an attempt to form a permanent seal between the toilet and the sewer pipe. The toilet is then lowered down to the floor, washers and nuts are screwed down the upward facing bolts, and as the toilet comes down it smashes and compresses the wax or rubber ring creating the seal.

These bolts are usually the only mounting hardware holding the toilet upright and keeping the seal intact. The toilet is held in place by the bolts attached to the closet flange that is on top of the sewer pipe. The closet flange is secured to the floor, however, in some cases, the closet flange is not attached in any way to the floor so when you contemplate the height of the toilet, with a user sitting on the seat, to the width of the closet flange, ratio, it become apparent that this ratio is extremely off set or inadequate. All the seals in the toilet fixture are important, however, the seal at the bottom of the toilet is usually the most critical because this seal, unlike the other seals, must contain and direct dirty water.

It is necessary to say that the minimum diameter of any toilet sewer pipe in the US must be at least three inches to accommodate semi solid objects and the relatively large amount of fluid that passes through it at a relatively high rate to speed. A three inch seal is quite large and it is difficult to maintain a secure seal all the way around the base of the toilet and the sewer pipe.

Most floors are made up of wood or concrete, however, when the toilet is placed on a wood floor it is usually positioned between the floor joists, however, the toilet is not attached to the floor, it is attached to the closet flange and the closet flange is usually connected to the top of the sewer pipe and then attached to the floor, again, the toilet is connected to the closet flange. Even though the floor is usually solid and not very flexible, the toilet, however, is not attached to the floor, it is attached to the closet flange and this allows flexing to occur.

There are many adaptations that try to address this issue so that the seal remains intact and contains the fluids when the fixture is flushed or when there is a back up:

However, there is a problem with the flange and the wax or rubber seal. When you calculate how many times the fixture is used a day and how many times the user shifts their weight off to one or both sides, it is easy to see how the toilet will begin to tilt from side to side and to flex the joint and the seal between the bottom of the toilet and the top of the closet flange and or sewer pipe. The closet flanges of today are made up of mostly semi rigid plastic which has a flexing ability.

The wax seal is not a material that rebounds well to an original shape by its self. After it has been compressed, and as the toilet is used many times, and flexing occurs, small cracks and voids begin to occur in the wax itself. The rubber flexing, allows for debris to work its way between the respective parts and at first it doesn't pass all the way through. However, it builds up over time, and then gray water enters the voids and prevents the wax from adhering back on to itself. With a rubber seal, the debris becomes lodged between the respective parts and in time, through flexing and hot and cold seasons, these cracks become full of debris and it works its way all the way through the wax and rubber seals until a passage way is created in which gray water and sewer gas leak out on to the floor and air. The floor covering, usually tile, linoleum, or carpet, prevent the fluids from evaporating and in time, they begin to infiltrate into the wood sub-floor, and causing these to rot away to structural failure as well as form a breeding ground for dangerous bacteria, such as, but not limited to, e-coli. There is a need for and is the object of this invention to provide a permanent, flexible tube seal between the toilet and the sewer pipe that will allow for flexing by being constructed out of materials that rebound by them selves, such as, but not limited to, rubber or flexible plastic compounds. These already exist and they are accepted as standard items in the plumbing industry. However they are not incorporated or uses in this new and novel way, nor are they incorporated into a toilet unit that is designed to increase the area that the fixture sits on, thus preventing the rocking from side to side. The fixture constructed in such a way, with additional apparatuses, so as to create a permanent, semi flexible seal between the bottom of the toilet and the sewer pipe that will not be deformed or allow gray water and or sewer gas to lead out.

The first problem is the height to width ratio between the top of the toilet to the width of the base and the closet flange on top of the sewer pipe. This is solved by widening the base of the toilet itself. In the preferred invention, the bottom of the toilet is molded to create a drain pipe or downspout that extends off the bottom of the toilet fixture, or an extension or downspout is permanently attached to the bottom of the toilet. These would be of the same materials of the toilet such as ceramic or of other materials, consisting of vinyl, or rubber or other suitable materials that would be of the toilet, or that has been permanently attached and sealed to the bottom of the toilet.

Then, the sewer pipe would be allowed to pass through the floor, and a mounting ring would be affixed below the top of the sewer pipe, allowing the sewer pipe to extend up above the floor, to a necessary height, such as, but not limited to, two inches. This mounting ring would go around the sewer pipe allowing the sewer pipe to pass through the mounting ring. The mounting ring would be attached to the sewer pipe and the floor to hold the sewer pipe to the floor. This ring would be orientated in the best way as to how it would be mounted on the sewer pipe, either on the top, below or any combination there of to secure the pipe to the floor.

Instead of a wax or rubber gasket, a connecting tube consisting of a rubber, vinyl or similar material would be placed over the outsides of both the downspout off of the toilet and over the outsides of the sewer pipe that is above the floor and or a sewer pipe extension. The outer walls of the downspout and the sewer pipe, or sewer pipe extension, would be smooth to mate with the smooth interior walls of the connecting tube, or sleeve that would pass over each respective part with tightening bands to compress the connecting tube where it covers the downspout. The sewer pipe or sewer pipe extension would form permanent, flexible, water and vapor tight seal with or without sealers. In some cases, there would be an additional rubber tube that would be of and extend off of the bottom or back of the toilet, and would enter the insides of the sewer pipe or the sewer pipe extension. The extension, would or would not have ribs or protrusions all the way around the seal so that, if and when, the additional rubber tube downspout is used, it would create a vapor and fluid tight seal between the outsides of the downspout and the insides of the sewer pipe with or without sealer(s) or adhesive(s) between the downspout and the sewer pipe. In some cases, this additional tube coming off of the bottom or back of the toilet would be rigid with a rubber seal around the outsides of it which would be sandwiched between the outsides of the downspout and the insides of the sewer pipe or the sewer pipe extension.

In the back of the toilet base, there would be an opening, or if the toilet is mounted on a wall, the opening would be in the bottom of the toilet base, with or without a cover that would allow for access to the jointing tube seal and its compression bands and any other hardware for securing the jointing tube and any additional mounting hardware.

There would be compression bands on the connecting tube, at least one for the toilet downspout and at least one for the sewer pipe or its extension that would be tightened after the toilet is installed, over the sewer pipe or its extension, to create a vapor and fluid tight, yet semi flexible seal and joint. The compressing bands would or would not have extension handles that would be attached to the tightening mechanisms of the bands that would extend towards the back or rear of the toilet that would operate a worm gear, or other acceptable tightening means such as zip ties and be tightened with or without the use of tools to tighten the compression bands around the jointing tube. This would apply enough permanent pressure between the outsides of the jointing tube and the toilet downspout and the other pressure band would create enough permanent pressure between the outsides of the jointing tube and the outsides of the sewer pipe or a sewer pipe extension, to create a permanent, flexible seal between the toilet downspout and the sewer pipe. Blocking any fluids or sewer gas from escaping on to the floor or into the air from the joint when the toilet is drained or flushed or is backed up.

Also an intended advantage of the preferred embodiment is in combination with a compressible flexible sleeve between the tank and bowl and or bowl and the closet flange and or the bowl and the sewer pipe that can be removed by way of access to the sleeve from the opening in the back of the toilet when the toilet is mounted on the floor. Access to the compressible flexible tube would be by way of an opening under the toilet, with or without a security cover, when the toilet is mounted on the wall and the flexible sleeve can be removed with out having to remove the toilet from the floor or wall to allow cleaning of the bottom of the toilet water passage way or to the sewer pipe and then the flexible sleeve can be replaced, thus saving both time and expense both in labor and otherwise ruined parts.

U.S. Pat. No. 7,069,603 issued to Jay David Flushing, Jul. 4, 2006, uses a catch basin to collect gray water, and it mentions a wide collector however it doesn't mention a wider base toilet itself, and this is still unsatisfactory because it admits that there will still be leaks which is unsanitary.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,185,890, issued to Gegory W. Dismore, Feb. 16, 1993, mentions a male toilet seal and a tapered sleeve that extends from the bottom of a toilet down into the sewer pipe, however there is still a seal that is compressed between the bottom of the toilet and the top of the closet flange. U.S. Pat. No. 5,608,922 issued to William I, Lewis, Mar. 11, 1997, speaks of a pad to collect leaked water from the toilet and its associated main seal.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,907,301 issued to Richard J. Tucker, Mar. 13, 1990, uses a retaining clip for holding the upright mounting bolts that apply pressure and sandwich the sealing ring, weather it be of wax or other compressible materials to form the main toilet seal between the toilet and the sewer pipe flange, however the preferred embodiment, would eliminate the need to hold the bolts upright during installation because the holding or mounting bolts can pass directly through holes in the bottom of the toilet base directly to the floor, preferable through the plywood floor to the floor joists or through the drywall to the wall studs that would create the most rigidity.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,615,413 issued to Rodney C. Grant, Sep. 9, 2003, instructs an attachable sealing member for the main seal of a toilet, however the preferred invention doesn't use any sealing materials but uses a collar, tube or sleeve that extends over each respective part of the water passage way from the toilet to the sewer pipe, forming a continuous passage way with out the use of sealing materials and eliminates the use of a closet flange and instead uses a collar around the sewer pipe to hold the end of said pipe slightly above the surface of the floor and not allow said pipe to fall below floor level.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,634,034 issued to Jeffery Randell, Oct. 21, 2003, instructs of an adjustable height closet flange and a sealing zone, however doesn't solve the problem of a main seal between the toilet and the sewer pipe.

Also, another advantage of the preferred invention is when, in new construction, the top portion of the finished flooring, which may be linoleum, title, or carpet, etc is not installed when the sewer pipe in installed and there is no way of knowing the exact height or thickness of the finishing flooring or the height required for the stub of the sewer pipe coming through the floor, the flexible collar, tube or sleeve would extend over each respective part enough to allow for at least one inch difference in height between the toilet downspout and the sewer pipe.

The jointing tube would incorporate multiple materials that form a compression effect by themselves in the jointing tube so that when it is forced down over the top of the sewer pipe or the sewer pipe extension, the tube would automatically recompress and reform its self around the respecting parts, with or without a matching grove that is around the sewer pipe extension and the toilet downspout as it is pushed clown on to the grooved toilet downspout, the jointing tube would create its own seal by reforming itself around the respecting parts after it has been pressed down over the two extensions, the smaller ends reforming themselves into the contour(s) or grove(s) in each extension and there would be no need to be any additional compression bands.

Or compression bands would be incorporated into the tube so that when the tube is pressed on to the toilet downspout and the sewer pipe and or extension, the compression bands themselves do not expand, however, the material(s) within the tube itself and the compression band(s) and the two extensions, that part of the jointing tube compresses, and then re-expand into the matching grove(s) or on smooth parts with out a groove, forming a permanent seal with out the need for compression bands to be tightened, or in other words, the seal(s) would be created automatically by the reforming of the material(s) with in the jointing tube.

The compression bands would or would not have a slipping clutch incorporated into the worm gear mechanism so as not to over tighten the compression bands,

The preceding issues would be solved by;

Widening the base of the toilet, either the sides straight up and down, or widening the bottom flanges or the flaring out of the bottom of the toilet, would stabilize the toilet from tilting from side to side, preferably wide enough to have the mounting screws bite into the floor joists, on any level of the house, the mounting bolts would be either screws, bolts or studs that have already been installed in the floor;

Mold the bottom of the toilet to create a drain pipe downspout and cover the toilet downspout with a rubber seal that would have ribs or protrusions all the way around the seal so that the downspout would extend down into the insides of the sewer pipe, creating a vapor and fluid tight seal between the outsides of the downspout and the insides of the sewer pipe with or without sealer or adhesive between the downspout and the seal. Then an additional connecting tube be placed on one of the respecting parts, either the toilet downspout or on the sewer pipe or its extension before the toilet is positioned over and dropped down on to the other part, the compressing bands tightened or the connecting tube would reform creating a permanent fluid and vapor seal;

In new construction, the sewer pipe would pass through a new type of floor mounting ring and then the sewer pipe would be attached to the mounting ring by adhesive and the ring itself would be attached to the floor by a flange extending out in all directions that would hold the sewer pipe to the floor. The ring would be either on top of the floor, under the floor or with multiple rings. The floor would be between the two rings or any combination thereof and allow for the sewer pipe to extend above the floor by at least 2 inches. The floor mounting ring would be attached to the sewer pipe by adhesion, compression or threads, or any other means that would give the sewer pipe the necessary support it needs to hold it permanently attached to the floor.

In the case of an existing toilet already in use, there would be installed a spacer between the floor and the bottom of the toilet creating additional space. Then, an additional downspout would be mounted on to the bottom of the existing toilet and a riser would be installed on to the closet flange with an upwardly facing rigid extension and a seal placed between the closet flange and the extension and these would be bolted together. Then the sealing tube would be placed over the two respective parts, the sewer pipe extension and the toilet downspout. There would or would not be contours or at least one groove around the downspout and the sewer pipe extension to help prevent the jointing tube from shifting down too far and slip off the downspout coming out of the toilet or to help create a better seal

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Find the location of the toilet and any needed attaching hardware by placing the toilet upright and lowering it on to the sewer pipe and the floor, allowing the toilet downspout, to insert itself into the sewer pipe.

Twist the toilet into proper orientation as to the adjacent walls. Locate the mounting floor bolt studs locations and or holes and mark these on to the floor or eliminate the temporally mounting of the toilet and use a template.

Remove toilet and store in such a way so as not to damage the ridged or flexible toilet downspout;

Pre drill holes in the floor to facilitate the installation of the toilet floor mounting bolts and or install the floor studs in the floor leaving a sufficient amount of length stick up above the floor to fasten the toilet to or use screws or lag bolts after the toilet is set in place.

Place the jointing connecting tube on to the toilet downspout or the extended sewer pipe, pointing the tightening handles apparatus toward the rear of the toilet, or downwards as the case may be, tighten only the one strap or clamp on the extension that it is placed on first, creating a seal around the outsides of that drain pipe Lift the toilet upright and lower it on to the sewer pipe and any attaching hardware, allowing the toilet downspout to insert itself into the sewer pipe and at the same time, slip the jointing tube over the outsides of the other respecting drain extensions and lower the toilet down to the floor so that the jointing tube is over both the toilet downspout and the sewer pipe or the sewer pipe extension;

Reach around to the opening at the rear or bottom of the toilet base as the case may be. Tighten the upper and lower jointing tube strap(s). The jointing tube is now on the outsides of both the toilet downspout and the sewer pipe extension, so that the strap squeezes the seal tube around the outsides of both the toilet downspout and the sewer pipe or its extension and it will create a permanent, flexible fluid and vapor tight seal.

Pass the bolts and washers, if the washers are used, through the holes that are on the insides or outsides of the base of the toilet or install the washers, and nuts on to the studs directly to the floor in any orientation or number around the base of the toilet. When the toilet is in use, and the user shifts their weight on the toilet, there would not be the tilting and flexing of the joint, because the wider width of the toilet base would not allow the toilet to rock side to side or front-wards or rear-wards;

Or if working with an existing toilet, attach a drain downspout extension to the bottom of the toilet with permanent adhesive, such as, a ceramic adhesive, then, install the spacer plate that has an opening in the back of it to allow access to the attaching hardware. Install this spacer between the bottom of the toilet and the floor to lift the toilet to a necessary height to compensate for the longer drain. Install the sewer pipe extension adaptor with its permanent seal. Then install the jointing tube, tighten the one respecting tightening band, lower toilet on to the sewer pipe or its extension, and tighten the other tightening band. Install any other attaching hardware.

With a spacer, the toilet down spout would be far enough away from the wall or floor as the case may be and have a length long enough to allow for the installation of the flex joint tube to be slid over on to the down spout or drain pipe so that the flex tube, either expandable or not, could be installed after the fixture was installed on the floor or on the wall by sliding it on the one piece, either the pipe coming out of the floor or wall, or on to the outlet pipe. Then, positioned in line with the adjacent pipe, then slid back in to its permanent position, and the bands tightened, thus allowing the installation of the connecting or flexible tube after the main fixture has been permanently mounted on the floor or wall, or can be changed after the fixture has been installed with out having to remove the fixture from the floor or wall or can be removed for cleaning of the water passage way either in the toilet fixture or in the floor or wall sewer pipe.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

FIG. 1 is a frontal view of a toilet with a wide base and an opening in the back of the base, indicated by a curved dotted line also, two mounting holes, the mounting bolts or studs and washers, the downspout that would drain the toilet, all of which would be hidden inside the toilet base. The opening in the back of the toilet for access to these as well as the bottom water way indicated by a dotted circle where the sewer pipe would enter the toilet.

FIG. 2 is a frontal view of a toilet with a wide platform, however, the base is narrow also, the mounting holes, the mounting bolts or studs and washers that would be visible on the outsides of the toilet base. An opening in the back indicated by a curved dotted line that would give access to the downspout, the sewer pipe and the hole where the sewer pipe would enter the base of the toilet or the novel sewer pipe mounting flange with extension(s) and a standard plumbing union;

FIG. 3 is a sideways view of a floor mounted toilet with its downspout. The jointing tube with a sealable access opening, the compression bands, with their extended twist rods and handle grips pointed towards the rear that operate the worm gear, with or without a clutch to force the bands to tighten. The bottom of the wide stance toilet with the opening in the rear of the base to allow access to the mounting hardware, the sewer pipe where it would extend up through the floor or with a novel mounting ring above the floor and how the wide stance toilet would drop down to bring all the entities together.

FIG. 4 a is a rear view of a wall mounted toilet with its mounting holes, the jointing tube with its compression bands, the handles pointing downward to be accessed from an opening at the bottom, of the toilet.

FIG. 4 b is a sideways view of a wall mounted toilet with its downspout at the rear of the toilet that has a groove to better seal the jointing tube, with or without adhesives or sealers. The jointing tube with its compression bands with its handles would be pointing downward. Also shown is a wall with a novel sewer pipe extension extending out of it, with a groove around the sewer pipe or its extension, to better seal it to the jointing tube. It also shows how the jointing tube would connect them both together once the toilet is mounted on to the wall.

FIG. 4 c is bottom view of a wall mounted toilet with its opening in the bottom. The downspout, with the jointing tube with its tightening handles is pointing off to the side to show they are there and shown is the novel sewer pipe extension with a groove all the way around the circumference to better seal it with the jointing tube. Also shown is how these would be connected together once the toilet is mounted on the wall.

FIG. 5 is an isometric rear view of a wall mounted toilet with its opening at the bottom. Also shown, id its downspout with or without a groove, the jointing tube having a sealable access opening being of somewhat rigid rubber or plastic with its compression bands. The handles are pointing downward to be accessed from below the toilet to tighten the compression bands after the toilet is installed on the wall. A jointing tube with ribs that would allow the tube to be stretched longer or compressed shorter to accommodate different distances between the sewer pipe in the wall and the sewer pipe and the downspout on the toilet, with or without a sealable access tube and the jointing tube, expandable or semi rigid, could be removed at any time to allow access to the toilet or sewer pipe water way for maintenance or cleaning or replacement of any needed parts;

FIG. 6 is a cutaway view that shows the novel mounting ring(s) and a floor fastener and a nut, the mounting ring would have a large surface flange on the mounting ring so that after it is welded by adhesive or held in place by compression, or any other means, it would hold the sewer pipe up so that it would not drop down off the jointing tube and thus be disconnected. The novel mounting ring would be attached to the floor, or when one or several mounting rings would be employed, one would be on top of the floor and one beneath the floor. If they are used in tandem, they would thus sandwich the floor between the two mounting rings to give the sewer pipe the necessary rigidity so that it would be permanently mounted to the floor.

FIG. 7 is a cut away view of the bottom of a toilet with its flexible downspout bonded to the toilet by adhesive, flexible or rigid, extending into the sewer pipe. The seal on the downspout would or would not have ridges extending all the way around the seal to create pressure points to block any fluid or vapors from passing up past the seal and escaping to the outside environment. The jointing tube, with or without sealer would cover over, on the outside of both the downspout and the sewer pipe creating at least a double seal when used in conjunction with the down spout inner seal with or without directing baffles. The compression bands on the jointing tube would create great pressure all the way around the toilet down spout and the sewer pipe. As it connects the two parts together, it would work to contain and direct the fluid down into the sewer pipe and prevent any vapors or fluid(s) from leaking out of the sewer pipe and with the jointing tube being of a rubber, vinyl or flexible material(s) with compression bands it would create the permanent yet flexible joint instead of a wax or rubber ring;

FIG. 8 is a cut away view of the toilet base, with its downspout being reduced in circumference in order to enter into the sewer pipe. Also shown is the seal on the downspout, the sewer pipe, the jointing tube, and the compression bands, the sewer pipe mounting ring that has a large surface on the sewer pipe and how the adhesive would bond both the mounting ring and the sewer pipe together. Also shown is how the mounting ring flange would extend out so that mounting hardware, such as a screw or bolt would attach the mounting ring and sewer pipe permanently to the floor preferable to a floor joist;

FIG. 9 a shows a typical closet flange and its bolts and a novel gasket. Also shown is the sewer pipe extension and the jointing tube with an inner ridge for sealing, with its elongated handles and how these would work together to incorporate the jointing tube on existing plumbing.

FIG. 9 b shows the novel sewer mounting ring flange with extensions with a standard sized bottom to fit into a standard plumbing union. Also shown is and how the union would bring the mounting ring and the sewer pipe together, or the mounting ring flange would fit directly over the sewer pipe and be welded together, or held in place by compression, (not shown);

FIG. 10 a shows the novel mounting ring and a sewer pipe. The novel mounting ring would slip over the sewer pipe and be welded there or held there by compression or any other suitable means;

FIG. 10 b shows a mounting ring flange with a long center to give enough surface contact on the sewer pipe. Also shown is how it would allow the sewer pipe to extend above the mounting ring and then also extend above the floor and be permanently mounted and attached to the floor;

FIG. 10 c shows the novel split sewer pipe mounting rings. One that would be placed over the top of the sewer pipe and be slid down the sewer pipe and be welded to the sewer pipe with its flange facing upward to be mounted on the bottom of the floor. Another would be slid down the sewer pipe with its flange facing down and welded to the sewer pipe to be mounted on top of the floor;

FIG. 10 d shows how the novel split mounting ring(s) would be above and below the floor. Also shown is how the mounting hardware and the sewer pipe would extend above the floor for the jointing tube, (not shown), to connect the toilet and the sewer pipe together;

FIG. 11 a shows the sewer pipe and the toilet downspout with a gape between large enough to allow the jointing tube to be installed after the toilet has been installed, such as, but not limited to, a wall mounted toilet and how the flexible jointing tube would flex and fit over the sewer pipe or the toilet downspout, either one.

FIG. 11 b shows how the jointing tube would be slid back on to the sewer pipe or the downspout far enough to allow the other end to be flexed up in line with the other sewer pipe or downspout, either one.

FIG. 11 c shows how the jointing tube would be flexed in line with the other pipe. Then be slid over the other pipe, and then the compression bands would be tightened to create a permanent seal over both pipes. Both pipes would be permanently joined together to create a water way between both pipes.

FIG. 12 shows a standard toilet with narrow base with an opening in the bottom of the toilet for the water way and how an added on down spout would be welded to the bottom of the toilet. Then, a spacer with an opening in the rear of the spacer for access to the jointing tube tightening handles, to lift the toilet to provide room for a jointing tube, its handles pointing backwards, a novel sewer pipe extension with its gasket to be mounted to a standard closet flange on top of a sewer pipe.

FIG. 13 shows the toilet base, a long flexible downspout welded to it. With protrusions extending out to be squeezed around the insides of a sewer pipe, with or without circumference reducing baffles. A novel jointing tube with a circumference reducing center would prevent the tube from shifting upwards or downwards in sever vibration situations. Also shown is the sealable access opening for drainage or venting of other plumbing apparatus.

FIG. 14 a shows a novel one piece mounting ring with flange with a high enough top for the jointing tube to fit over, and an off set character and contours, to be fit into custom settings such as into tight spaces.

FIG. 14 b shows a novel one piece mounting ring with flange with a high enough top for the jointing tube to fit over, and at least, but limited to, a ninety degree angle to fit over a standard sewer pipe or reduced in circumference to fit into a standard plumbing coupling, not shown.

SUMMARY

A wide stance toilet that is mounted on the floor or wall, that is wide enough on the floor or wall so that it can be attached directly to the floor or wall, preferable with the bolts extending down through the floor or wall and into the floor joists or wall studs. Also, so that it cannot rock back and forth or side to side so as to prevent the motions that crushes and permanently distorts and ruins a wax ring seal. It also eliminates the need for a wax sealing ring and all the problems associated with it. A new and novel toilet with an elongated downspout, that holds a rubber collar around the outsides of it or the downspout may have an additional flexible extension on the end of the elongated downspout and the collar or additional flexible downspout fits down into the sewer pipe or a new and novel sewer pipe floor mounting flange that, it not only holds the sewer pipe up and permanently attaches it to the floor, but it will also hold the end of the sewer pipe up above the floor so as to allow room on the sewer pipe so that the new and novel flexible jointing tube can permanently connect the sewer pipe to the new and novel toilet. Also eliminating the closet flange, or permanently connect the toilet to a new and novel sewer pipe termination fixture that also accomplishes all the before mentioned benefits and the sewer pipe attaches to it, however, it also can have a raised pipe with or without a groove or contours around its entire circumference to create a better and more robust seal. The bottom end below the flange on the mounting ring would or would not have a groove or contours to create pressure points for a better seal or there would be matching groove(s) or contours within the jointing tube the match those on the mounting ring for better holding abilities, or a groove for quick connect sewer pipe end where the end would have rollers under pressure or on clamping arms or the sewer pipe would be of a rebounding type where the sewer pipe would only need to be pushed on the end of the mounting ring and the pressure would automatically seal the two respective parts with out any additional apparatus or the bottom end shaped for, into, on or over a sewer pipe, with or without a coupling. A new and novel jointing tube that fits over the outsides of both the toilet downspout and the top of the raised sewer pipe or sewer pipe extension that has compression bands with elongated handles that create a fluid and vapor tight, semi flexible seal so as to eliminate the leaking of fluids and or vapors into the ambient environment when the toilet is flushed or is backed up. The jointing tube would or would not have a least one sealable opening in the jointing tube into which additional plumbing drains, vapor pipes and or hardware can be attached and be drained or vented directly into or out of the sewer system via the opening in the back or bottom of the toilet base when mounted on the floor or wall. Which ever the case may be, with the jointing tube being constructed with at least one sealable opening it would direct the flows of the respecting fluids and or vapors creating or adding to the fluid and or vapor flows within the sewer system inside the building. It would also include a venting system for removing the odorous gas within the toilet bowl when it is being used with or without sensors to indicate when the fixture is in use to actuate the bowl venting or flushing system, to turn these on and off and automatically vent or flush the toilet. The sensing systems being operated by batteries, electrical adaptors or household electricity, either using the flushing water ways within the top of the toilet bowl as a venting vapor path, or making room for other added on plumbing hardware.

This new and novel invention solves many long standing problems in the plumbing industry, in that it is easy to use, is economical, creates a tighter and more flexible, permanent seal between the toilet and the sewer pipe. It is also more flexible in that it has a forgiving nature in that it allows for differences in distances between the toilet and the sewer pipe, the toilet and the floor, such as in new construction. It also eliminates the closet flange and the problems associated with its seal and its bolts. It eliminates the problem of leaking bottom toilet seals and is therefore more sanitary. It solves the problem of height distances when installing the finish flooring. With a wide base, it can eliminate the shifting or rocking side to side of the toilet and can eliminate the problem of unsightly toilet mounting bolts or studs in that they can be hidden within the base of the toilet with access to them from the back or underneath the toilet with a toilet base that has an opening in the back or underneath. The opening in the back of the toilet base would give access to the mounting hardware and the jointing tube with its compression bands. Also any additional plumbing hardware can be added or a jointing tube that can be compressed or extended lengthwise, so that a plumber, installer, can gain access to the sewer pipe or the bottom of the toilet, before, during or after installation by removing said jointing tube, cleaning the toilet and the sewer pipe and reinstall the jointing tube with out removing the toilet. If the toilet must be removed and any maintenance performed, the task can be accomplished with out needing the replace any hardware as the parts are reusable, and can be made to work on new or existing plumbing.

Solving also, a problem where there is a toilet that is made in at least two pieces, where as the toilet has a water storage tank as one piece and the bowl is another piece, where leaks can occur, there would be a downspout on the lower part of the toilet water tank extending out from the water tank far enough for a tube seal to fit over. The tube seal would be mounted on either at an angle or with an angle incorporated into the jointing tube or the jointing tube would be straight with at least one compression bands for each part. Where as, the water way between the tank and the toilet bowl would be connected by way of a tube seal. There would be at least one compression band on the water tank downspout and at least one compression band on the bowl riser or bowl water way extending up ward enough for the tube seal to fit over and when the compression bands were tightened, it would seal and join the two parts of the toilet together with a permanent, yet flexible seal
